>>289222570
There are no "originals from the 80s" to watch. This is the first adaptation that is faithful to the original manga. The 1995 movie is good but radically different in tone and significantly different in plot. Stand Alone Complex (00ish) is fantastic, but is sort of halfway between the movie and the manga in tone and has an entirely original plot.

The manga mostly did kind of look like that. A lot more shading, but that's a budget/time consideration. Otherwise, the manga was a lot more cartoony than people might think, because the show and the movie went the complete opposite direction, design-wise.

Nah the dub is completely fucked, I watched a comparison on youtube and it looks like they completely removed the word "Ghost" from dozens of lines, in a single episode.

It can also be helpful to consider it as consciousness in certain contexts

Perhaps instead of asking to be spoonfed about lore on fucking episode one, you could consider waiting to see if the show will either explain it to you in upcoming episodes OR give you enough context to figure it out yourself.

I mean you could argue that the jaws need power to stay closed. But in this case this was just environmental storytelling. In SAC the Operators look like they are asleep when they were deactivated. This anime make them look like sex dolls is exactly meant to tell people "this is not a human" without needing the characters to say it out loud. And even then most newbie audiences forget she is a robot until the scene when she was fried, because when activated she is treated like any other characters.

>>289227620
It's more about if a failure happens mid-blowjob. You don't want the mouth to be closed too far and leave your dick trapped while a technician awkwardly tries to fix it for hours.
>>
>>289227620
>>289227792
I would've loved a scene where she casually explains all of these blowjob-related technical considerations to other characters, like it's a perfectly normal thing.
>>
>>289227750
Adam Smasher is insanely OP it would probably be super close. Honestly it's kind of like a memey Batman scenario how much prep time does Motoko have? Historically from what *I've* seen she gets fucking mogged physically a *lot* by heavy armor users/tanks/etc. but she also frequently wins through grit and outsmarting her enemies. I dunno if it's like a ryona fetish thing or what but she's always almost getting her head crushed like an egg and right before it's about to pop she gets saved. And in the cases where she's capable of doing so after getting fucked up, she fucking rages, like that time she tortured the dude in the mech suit by slowly crushing his hatch inwards into his chest with anti-material rounds from point blank (which she was repeatedly firing and ejecting shells with using entirely with one arm and the leverage of her body).

>>289227788
Doesn't "low-diff" mean low-difficulty? Adam Smasher has high level automated ICE (aka firewalls/anti"Ghosthacking" barriers) AND his body is a massive hulking unit probably weighing 1 ton. It would come down to stealth, cunning, hacking ability and the differences in technology available.
I want to believe and ultimately would bet on Motoko soloing him but I'm not 100%. But I also haven't seen Stand Alone Complex in like 20 years.
>>
>>289227729
It's not a real anime studio so yes.

>>289227898
Smasher is a hunk of junk compared to Motoko in both raw stats and technical amplitude, she wouldn't even break a sweat unless he had some advantage like the element of surprise.

To my knowledge the "we're taking this high profile very valuable individual to our country because we believe in freedom, if you want to legally extradite him you're allowed to file an official reque-AAAACKKKK" character has always been dubbed with a normal American accent (the assassination scene is iconic and is always redone in every fucking adaptation I've seen). And the GITS universe's political landscape is fucking different, Russia and the US are not the same as IRL even within the time periods they were written, for one the US has balkanized which plays a big role in at least SAC 2nd Gig as far as I recall. If that ever comes up the guy randomly being a fucking Russian might be retarded.

I don't know what comparison you watched, but that's completely wrong. The only line that was changed was the type of stealth camo that the Mokoto used, which Aramaki had already said previously as a way to avoid making the line redundant. The dub is fine, not SAC but decent enough.

Go watch the scene at the end before she makes him punch himself in the face. In the Dub they changed it from "Ghost Infilation Key" to "infiltration Key" right? That was one of a dozen. Sometimes they omit it, sometimes they change it for example to "brain" and sometimes they keep it.

my understanding:

>Aramaki aka APEFACE is trying to arrest both the defector guy and the guy taking him in but Motoko basically does her "fuck international law, international law isn't bullet proof" assassination which is a shock to Aramaki in this one I guess
>she wants the braindead Toadman bureaucrat to agree to give her funding for a spec ops team lead by her, but it works out to where her and Apeface basically have to work together as part of Public Security (so Section 9 isn't established yet I guess and she's at odds with Aramaki and not close to him in this timeline so far)
>a government related school for orphans from whatever recent war the universe had (don't remember) is shady and being used to brainwash kids? make them into servers? they go in under the pretense one of the security guys is a former specops dude with GHOST INFILTRATION TECH or something
>but also apparently Aramaki set it up as a "trap but not really" knowing Motoko would go in and deal with it??? or something
>she punches out ineffectual idiot bureaucrat toadman, resolved to have to work with Aramaki, and they all have a laugh

I watched it, and it was simply a "give me that key, would you? as in she was tired of the director's bullshit when asking to join public security on their terms. Before that, the term "ghost and Ghost Inflation Key was intact. The use of Ghost was fully used, so I don't see them changing it a dozen times unless the subs that Amazon Prime used are screwed up.

>Adam is a murder machine against piddling amateurs and street criminals
Adam is a murder machine period, he is a walking highly advanced tank if a tank had 1:1 humanoid mobility, and a walking anti-personnel weapon. With the most advanced arsenal imaginable and obtainable in-universe.

But as I *literally* suggested myself, Motoko wouldn't take him head to head (or she would be ripped limb to limb) and would rely on subterfuge and both her personal wizard-class hacking ability and the highly advanced hacking of her universe (she frequently gets past the highest military grade encryption and practically soul-hacks other cyborgs). Adam isn't unequipped for the hacking shit entirely but he is WAY more shock and awe. He would both figuratively and *literally* rape a combatant like Batou to death (even pretending Batou getting beaten in hand to hand combat by fucking Kuze never happened).

Don't think so, not in a straight up face to face fight. She's a human-shaped jack of all trades. Good at combat, exceptional at netrunning, good at tactics and reconnaissance while Adam Smasher is a full-body conversion mech murder bot, made specifically to kill.

>>
>>289228735
While I've seen people suggest there's reason to speculate that Motoko may have been a male before getting her full (female) shell as a child I've also seen no actual evidence to corroborate this even being actually ambiguous. And while I've perpetrated this myth myself I stopped because I am starting to genuinely believe it is some weird tranny propaganda that started in some vague corner of the net. In the rare places it's even addressed to the point of being vaguely questioned it's confirmed she was born a girl. At some point in much later SAC it references her accident and shows her in a hospital bed (and in the 1st OP of SAC it literally references her playing with dolls and breaking her doll because of mismatched cyberbrain synapses which was a traumatizing period apparently). It basically confirms she's a girl wherever it comes into question.

In one SAC episode Batou also tells her to switch to a male shell because of the strength advantages but she says a female shell has its own advantages (>>289228490 literally this scene where she disarms him with "cuteness", and proves strength isn't the number one factor).

Are we allowed to bring the Fuchikomas to the fight? If not, Smasher stomps Motoko. He's basically a living tank, and a smart and very experienced one. On foot, she needs at least Batou to bring some armour-piercing guns and Ishikawa do the homework before even attempting to take on Smasher. Saito, supporting them with an anti-tank rifle would also improve their chances. 1 vs 1 solo? She gets smashed ten times out of ten.

Ghost in the Shell always has this problem where they try to cram so much plot into these short-ass episodes. A lot of times there's like 20 different lines too that if you miss them you'll immediately lose track of what's happening. Show looks and sounds great though and Motoko is cute, hoping things slow down a little bit in the later episodes.

Lmao, so this is why this show is so good. Mokochan literally prayed to Shirow like he's a spirit to bless him with his autism

The last 2 decades I've seen way too many normie fucktards always saying that 80' anime and manga look so much better than moeshit of "today" and it was based etc.
We actually and unironically get an anime featuring accurate art of how a lot of manga was drawn in this era and the same tourists are complaining about it.

>ghost line
It's just the border of someone's ghost. You go passed it, you're diving into their ghost. There are several levels before it. The ghost layer is level 6.
>ghost controller
A ghost controller is absolutely not someone who can hack another person's ghost, where did you get that from? It refers to the HC-25 the orphanage had. It's just an old (in the setting) brain washing device, though it can also facilitate hacking someone's cyberbrain.
>attack barrier
If someone hacks into an attack barrier, it'll fry them, and they'll literally die. They can get around it with some sort of decoy device (like what the guard was using), or by being an epic haxxor.

I couldn't be happier about it. I always wanted the manga animated, at the very least an adaptation that retains some of the tone, the fanservice and the cool tech/mecha autism and style of battle that's been by and large missing in most of the adaptations. I'm not a fan of kamiyama's version of gits so it's been a painful wait and the poor Appleseed adaptations didn't really help.

In 95 isn't he supposed to be from "the Republic of Gavel?" It's some kind of third-world country with a new regime promising "democracy" which is really no different from the last one. He's part of some political game trying to give diplomatic cover to someone who conspired to kill Japan's prime minister. In 95 he's a pawn of the Puppet Master trying to extradite one of the PM's programmers, I don't remember a motivation beyond that.

He's from the Soviet Union. The story came out in 1989, so they were still around at the time. He's from a socialist country, the country would hold Mr. Ito to make future trades for spies (Soviet spies were a big concern during the Cold War), and most importantly he uses the word "aeroflot", the Russian word for airplane. Moreover, they were talking about trading silicon deposits for slaves using Japan's cyberbrain technology, which somewhat mirrors Japan and Russia's economic relationship back then, where Russia provided resources and Japan provided technology. Also Russia is the second highest producer of silicon in the world.

>why are you faggots like this
Shirow is a believer that women are better survivors. This may be technically true because most men have an urge to sacrifice ourselves for the right cause, but women had always been taught to survive at all costs. The urge to die gloriously is almost a male weakness. While women just survives and don't make excuses for it. Interestingly Motoko was never a "hero". and even after she became a demigod she doesn't have grand ambitions.
>>
>>289230752

Oshii himself said the 1st movie tried to dumb down the manga's concepts and story.

You see it's a very normie, low media literacy thing to assume that anything with bright colors, humor, or fanservice is automatically shallow. People act like serious storytelling requires a grim, desaturated aesthetic, as if tone and depth are the same thing. Like humor and erotism can never be a fucking narrative tool at all EVER, it's all just "pandering" right?
I hate this meme so much like you wouldn't believe and it’s so ubiquitous that people genuinely believe it’s true, despite countless examples proving the opposite.

Probably synthetic hemoglobin carrier that delivers oxygen to power muscles etc.

turns out hemoglobin is pretty much the perfect thing for this and there's not really much else better than it

there's some alternative kinds of oxygen binders like hemocyanin but they're only good for specific environments, hemocyanin particularly is good for lower oxygen environments (like the deep ocean) whereas hemoglobin excels in richer oxygen environments.

About the only thing you can realistically do to improve on hemoglobin is to use something like a perflourocarbon as your blood plasma in addition to something like red blood cells

First movie of the new series (EZY) released 2 months ago and there's a BD remux out, it's 3 disconnected episodes rolled into 1 movie. There are subs floating around on /m/ but no one's put them together with the video. Next movie should be out soon. It's actually quite decent.

Shirou schizobabble about philosophy/technology good.
Shirou sock puppet author avatar rants about politics bad.

In both this thing and Appleseed. GITS is so short though and so heavily bent toward the former it's not so bad, but Shirou's polemics against the USA/USSR feel ironically anachronistic in a series remembered for the more prescient rants about the other stuff.

How's Manga Batou? One of the things I liked most from SAC Batou is how even though visually he looks more enhanced than Motoko (of course she is far more but I mean at first glance because of the cybereyes) he's more in touch with his grounded human side.
Granted that might have been an exaggeration made to provide a contrast with SAC Motoko, but anyway I found it fun we got a window into Batou having hobbies like weightlifting and keeping up with athletes, which you would think would fall away as being impressive with the advent of full body cyborg replacements but I guess not.

Also is Japan's Article 9 repealed in GITSverse?

Thanks.

You're right the manga art composition is better and that there's temporal issues in the storyboarding.
But it's not an AI thing it's traditional issues caused by weaker direction of the many different people working on one scene.

>of course she is far more
Actually no, they are basically the same level. Both have full prosthetic bodies. That's why Batou and the Major are the heavyweights of Section 9, they're the only 2 full cyborgs on the team IIRC. Most of the rest boast partial prosthetics to some degree, except Togusa, who only has a cyberbrain and no prostheses, making him the closest thing to a regular guy on the team.

Barged into the writing processes. First season he was involved with the pitch and original setting but Kamiyama was allowed to just do his thing. 2nd gig Oshii was in the writing rooms arguing about shit with the team. Staff literally called them "Oshii Rooms".
2nd gig feels like its split in different creative directions not just different narratives because, frankly, it was.

Regardless of my opinion about why though anon back in the day most people liked 2nd gig less so you have a lot of old men that agree with you.

Well usually shows like this just don't do much research on something like lasers

cutting through metal beams like that is functionally impossible for any kind of laser, you need something like an electron beam welder to do that and it requires a vacuum and isn't that fast

lasers in general are pretty piss poor but people have scifi retard brains and don't want to understand:
1. lasers reach a saturation limit in the atmosphere once they reach a certain energy density, where the air itself ionizes and becomes opaque to the laser making it basically useless
2. you can get around this problem somewhat with bigger mirrors but nobody ever draws their laser beam guns with 10m wide mirrors and it has to narrow to a focal point anyway so the density issue comes back into play
3. you can also mitigate it a little by pulsing the laser beam but once again nobody ever depicts this
4. Even if you're shooting a laser and making sure it stays below the saturation point all the way to the target, the range is heavily dependent on your aperture size and laser wavelength
5. because of all these problems lasers are actually pretty short ranged
6. Lasers aren't 100% efficient (they typically aren't even 40% efficient) which means your laser gun is heating itself up as much as or more than it's heating up the target it's aimed at

lasers kind of suck as weapons but in scifi they're always shown as super cutting beams that slice through everything at any range and that's just not how they work

Motoko got a vague lead that some illegal brainwashing shit was happening at the orphan educational center/labor camp.
The center itself being brutal wasn't a crime, but the ghost or digital soul and memory manipulation stuff was.
She knew she was being led into a trap, that the leak was intended to get her to act despite a lack of evidence and clearance, but she dove in anyways out of a sense of frustration at the manipulation.
In the finale the minister that gave her the job in Section 9 tried to put a leash on her by insinuating that unless she agreed to some binding rules and the like, she'd be out of a job already. Then Motoko made him punch himself and accepted that she was SOL.

Also, SAC and other series after were dubbed in LA. Bang Zoom also dubbed Netflix CG GITS with pretty much the whole cast including Aramaki's VA who latter died not long after.

I've always knew Maaya Sakamoto had a pretty decent range but there were moments that she genuinely reminded me of Atsuko Tanaka's voice.

Good writeup. You know your shit. Have you ever heard of using laser ionisation to carry an electrical current? I just read about it the other day and it sounds outrageously implausible and cool as fuck.
>>
>>289238389
now listen to any scene that doesn't have Aramaki in it.
Motoko and her group speak in simple, straightforward, casual Japanese.
>>
>>289239017
The best part about casting Maaya is that she also played loli Motoko at the end of the film.

She wasn't there to save the kids. She was there to arrest the guy who was brainwashing them.
>>
>>289239141
Lets be honest, you just described almost every industry.
>>
>>289239189
Wasn't it not technically the brainwashing, but because the brainwashing facility was starting to turn against the state so they had to be put down?

They do, but they eat special "cyborg food" which is apparently disgusting to non-cyborgs, but it tastes good to them.

One would think that their bodies would be efficient enough not to produce solid waste as a by product of eating

It was actually a point about how she cant rescue him from being brainwashed because even outside the school he's going to become a media zombie. She told him to use his own brain.

Oshii's film is a peerless masterpiece and genuinely of the greatest works of art in anime.
It is also not very representative of what Ghost in the Shell is like. It might as well be called "Mechacop vs Hackerbot".

>>289239911
it was too fast for me

I lacked context for what was going on, it's not terrible but it was a lot of "what? huh?"; it felt like I had to pause for 30 seconds and re-read the dub to catch what was happening.

it's not the pacing so much as it felt disjointed a bit, like there was some connector missing between each scene.

The Puppeteer plot from the film exists in the manga, but it is more in the background except for ~2 chapters.

i always felt like she was cheating when she hacked batou . yes you can be smarter but raw strength male robo body is higher. should have had batuo get stuck in a ceiling duct or something to show smaller form advantage instead.
>>
>>289232120
this is why even though i like SAC i really kinda hated matoko in it cause she was this bossy teacher type (wasnt even that hot) who basically bootlicked half the time (though they tried to change that in the 2nd gig) .

this interpretation i like cause shes more like a freelancer. yes shes works for the government but on her terms.
well its only 1 episode so well see where this goes.
>>
>>289241058
iconic maybe. even as someone who likes SAC hotter is debatable. i suppose shes definitely less manly than the movie though lol. shes basically a muscle mommy in that lol.
>>
>>289239900
LOL? is that true about the author. fucking kek if so.

>newbie (basically no cybernetics) Togusa
Togusa is a cyborg too. It's only in other adaptations that he's mostly clean.
>Motoko basically does her "fuck international law
She had her own mission separate from Aramaki. The two men were about to walk anyway.
>but it works out to where her and Apeface basically have to work together
Her proposed team hasn't been established yet, and she's worked under Aramaki before. This wasn't unforeseen, it just hadn't been formed yet.
>Aramaki set it up as a "trap but not really" knowing Motoko would go in and deal with it???
It's clear what's going on in the school is illegal, and Motoko's job was to stop it, despite not really having any way to do that by the book. When they learned it was a government facility, it became ten times more dangerous to fuck with it. She did it anyway.
>she punches out ineffectual idiot bureaucrat toadman, resolved to have to work with Aramaki
After resolving what was a massive human rights violation involving children, which was (supposedly) happening right under the government's nose, the minister of internal affairs reprimanded her more for her methodology than congratulating her for what they accomplished. It's because the politicians had use for the facility and generally knew it was going on. Having him punch himself in the face was her resignation letter. She's never going to be able to work for the government again (until next episode when you see the actual fucking ending of the story, which should've been left in from the start).
